How To Tune The Kalimba in Less Than a Minute

[@tocaevie8258]

Nice, I have a tuning hammer when I bought mine and I thought that it was to play and I was so confused 😂

[@edgardocastillo9597]

Not me-

Me too and then I just paused like- Wait that doesn’t sound right 😂

Just ordered my kalimba yesterday, while I wait for it to arrive I'm educating myself haha

[@Gamatech123]

Three weeks later, I'm doing the same! ^^ I got a little 8 key one for the price of a coffee, now I've ordered a more substantial one and reading up

[@yossarian00]

how's the playing going lads

[@alyssaryannn]

Same here! Were you able to pick it up quickly? Was it easier to play rhan you thought or harder?

[@madelyn1991]

Same here! I ordered it yesterday and now I’m learning about it.

[@uchihaphoenix6138]

Me tooo in gonna get it tomorrow so excited

[@lovepeace1788]

I just got mine in and I already have you are my sunshine memorized. I am obssessed. Its so soothing to play it. Every other time I jave tried to learn to play an instrument I have gotten frustrated and quit. I love my kalimba though. To anyone who has bad anxiety I would highly recommend

[@meadowsz5390]

I wish I could save shorts to Playlists. This is a great motivation to try tuning my kalimba again.

[@zhiensvlog5984]

You can, just press the 3 dots and it should show "save to playlist*

I love my kalimba. It is such a relaxing, easy to play instrument. So ethereal amd magical sounding. I got it last year and haven't tuned it yet. This is helpful to know. 🌞

I only watched one of your kalimba videos before this came up on my feed. Still trying to wrap my mind around how good your voice sounds to my ears... There's a very sweet soul behind that voice. 💚

[@yashjain8332]

Waiting for my 1st kalimba (hollow) to arrive🙂...just need to learn how to read the tab/notes/num🫠

[@sythe07]

Your voice is so soothing 😌😌😌

[@Maude_kun]

I use the app to play kalimba because I cant afford some good quality instrument but I love the sound of kalimba its so relaxing ❤

[@nat4624]

The thing that discourages me from playing is figuring out how to read and play typical sheet music with it (not with numbers or letters but with notes that most instruments use). There's so many songs I want to learn but don't know how to use typical music notation with it. I just get confused easily and don't know much about music.

[@alex_5891]

Really? Most of Kalimba covers here on youtube are with tab sheets like numbers.

[@ContagiousSponge]

The Kalimba I bought had stickers with them that I could put on the notes. It made learning to play songs way easier

[@RavenRose543]

I got my Kalimba today ❤❤ completely in love

[@OtakuAfterHours]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@FenTheWolf]

I think tuning my Kalimba was actually a lot of fun when I first got it! Just wanna put this here in case anyone's scared of it. I think it's pretty neat :D

[@Gamatech123]

...YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAMMER THOSE!? I unscrewed the bar and slid them all up and down and screwed it on again over and over and OVER!!! D': It was even worse when I accidentally knocked the body of the Kalimba, and ALL THE NOTES SHIFTED.

[@biaxolotl5171]

OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Very helpful, I already bought Kalimba yesterday, this video help me a lot, thank you much for sharing, Stay blessed

[@arriannaniv]

I thought it sounded good before I tuned it, but after and it’s like no matter what I play it’s gorgeous. Can just flick random keys and it’s so satisfying. But yes.. took me like 30 minutes to tune it properly. The higher ones were the most finicky. I felt so accomplished if I tuned one correctly the first try though. The E at the end was hard. Kept trying to register as an F till I put the kalimba right over the microphone

[@amberwheeler6989]

This helped me.Thank you❤

[@Lun4V]

Finally I know what the hammer for- Thank you for showing how to tuning the kalimba :D

[@israeldaley7575]

Thank u now i know how to tune my kalimba..just bough recently. And theres a hammer along with it

[@GregoryBonato]

Me literally disassembling it all to polish the keys😅

[@sunnyday7135]

Yeah, it's possible and rather easy, but I hate it when I have to tune my kalimba every time I want to play a particular song. Sometimes it takes 3 minutes or so because there are 17 keys and sometimes you have to tune most of them... So I prefer putting the songs into a C major or A minor to match the kalimba tuning (tho it's kinda boring to have all the songs in the same key)

[@nostalgia7410]

Ty so muchhhh

[@gelancasalinas7809]

Im getting my kalimba these Friday yuhooo😊 skl

This is so true, I stopped playing my kalimba because I didn’t know how to tune it and so I just forgot about it. I just started playing it again today and i realized that I lost my tuning hammer.

Tyssm! Been tuning it wrong the whole time 😭

[@irbomusic]

It usually takes more than a minute to tune the whole kalimba

[@chelli_idk]

Yeah, she cut out the rest of the tuning process to make the video short enough

[@waluigihentailover6926]

The video is supposed to be less than a minute, not the tuning process.

I will do that now Ty I didn’t know how to do it 😁

Legit thought the hammer was for hitting notes🤣

[@jamesrichards2720]

Tuning is true for the guitar, too. I couldn't tune my guitar right for my guitar class, so I dropped out of guitar class 4 weeks in so i never learned basic guitar. 🙃

[@donald4095]

For me it's the fact that I've never heard of it before I might not be able to tune a piano but I can definitely tuna fish.

[@ButterKing-28]

I am thinking of buying one and I am extremely surprised that that is how you tune it (I thought you would have to loosen the "bridge" or something.

[@cattermiles]

makes me confused how so many people didn't know it was for tuning.. i've never played kalimba, but bought one today, because why not and i immediately knew it had something to do with tuning

[@JihoEllieJun]

Please can you do the music summer please 🥺

[@Random_user_599]

Actually i dont know how to paly a kalimba but i do play the piano i only got a kalimba because my aunt got me one so i had no idea how to do it but i know how to play the piano and j tried doing the notes just doing it in the kalimba and boom i know how to play the kalimba hehe so if any pianist sees this go get a kalimba!

[@pichi5679]

And a tip avoid accidentally hitting your kalimba with the tuning hammer even if it’s just a little hit it still damages your kalimba

[@asyakite7839]

Hey! Thank you so much for the reels😊 Can I also change the tuning of my kalimba? For example, mine comes in the G tuning but I would like to have a lower sound, can I tune it to other note by using the tuning app?

[@zodiac909]

SALAMAT!

[@LoneStarWomanInACajunWorld]

Unfortunately mine didn't come with a tuning hammer. I got mine at the Earth Bound in that massive mall in Baton Rouge. I appreciate this video though. I am planning to go to a music store with it when I can. Mine is a round coconut one with 7 keys. 2 of the keys for sure need tuning. I still been having fun with it though for now.

[@Jessk1rbym.]

I downloaded an app for this and my kalimba sounds so bad, I can’t even play the songs that I already learned :(

[@Fablevill]

I’ve been doing this for like 2 hours and it’s like the app tells me it’s right, then the next time I scale over it it’ll say it’s wrong. What’s a logical reason for this because I know I must be doing something wrong. It’s the edges that sound bad, the middle ones in pretty much have down

i actually find tuning the thing fun lol

[@JAYDENisLISTENING]

I am often discourage because in Germany the kalimba is very unknown and i need Notation because i learned Other Instruments, i Play with Piano Notation. I cant ready kalimba Tabs but i can Not find many kalimba notations only notations with only the melody and that is too easy. I want to play music for 34 key kalimba for more advanced Players But i cant find any. Now i Downloaded Crescendo to write my own kalimba notes but i dont have that much time.

[@JustinPaul2309]

You dont need a hammer, wakes the neighbors. I use my house key to push on either sides.
